Staff Ethos

The staff of Minnetonka United Methodist Church are devoted to the mission and vision of the church, and care deeply about the people who make up the staff team and congregation. Therefore, how we treat one another is as important as what we do and accomplish together. Whenever we gather, whatever our work, we recognize that we do it as members of the family of Christ.

Staff Values

• We direct energy and resources toward high priority, mission-focused objectives that exhibit passion, potential, readiness and commitment.
• We build trust and responsibility through transparency, information sharing and follow-through. We work collaboratively and collegially, seeking input ideas from one another. We presume the best of each other, remembering that we are on the same team trying to accomplish the same goals.
• We practice the Rule of Christ and adhere to the Minnetonka United Methodist Church grievance policy. If we disagree with the staff member or lay person who is leading an initiative or meeting, we covenant to share our comments and concerns with him/her privately.
• We publicly support the mission and vision of the church, along with the pastoral and staff leadership.
• We embrace change that will help us better connect with new people, generations, people groups, and the changing culture. When forced to choose, our preference will always be for what ensures our future instead of preserving our past.
